Human Hair Extension Color Blending ?!?

Hello all, my hair is between a 1b (off black) and a 2 (dark brown). I purchased human hair extensions in 2. I'm getting a hair weave soon and I'm concerned about color blending issues. My hair is just a little past my shoulders and I'm leaving the perimeter out and some out at the top. I'm REALLY stressing about this and I'm sure that I shouldn't. I've been thinking about doing a semi-permanent color for my hair, but since my hair is darker, I know it won't lift and I want to stay away from permanent hair color...not unless there's a REALLY good semi or demi permanent hair color on the market! :) So...I've attached a cell phone pic of my hair and the extensions. The quality might not be all that great, but you can see the slight color difference. I'd appreciate SERIOUS opinions only! Thanks in advance!

To me, your hair and the weave hair are very similar in color, except for the fact that the weave is shiny. After it is cut, curled, has product on it, etc., then it will look dull too. (no offense) Just let it wear out on it's on. What I used to do is wash the hair prior to getting it sewn in. That way, some of the excess dye is rinsed off of the track hair and it will leave you with the look that you want.

You could dye the extensions darker, instead of dying your own hair, to make it match.

You are comparing it to your true base color which is only the first two inches from the scalp. The ends of your hair is where your concern should be, and old hair always lightens two to three shades at the ends.



So don't stress, it will be fine.

they look very similar. you could try a semi but it will wash out eventually anyways. i would not lighten your hair i think that would be a bad idea. the color are so close in shades that i think they will blend in once they are put in. i put in ones that were 3 shades different and you couldnt really tell. dont stress it will be fine
